Principles that Guide the Student Affairs Division
The principles that guide our office are that:
• Engaging students in active learning. Active learning invites students to bring their own and others’ perspectives as they expand their view points and apply new understanding to their own lives.
• Helping students develop coherent values and ethical standards, that is the provision of opportunities for students, staff and educators to demonstrate the values that define a learning community, a community committed to justice, honesty, equality, civility, freedom, dignity and responsible citizenship.
• Setting and communicating high expectations for student learning. This is enhanced by appropriate students’ capabilities and aspirations, and consistent with the institution’s mission, vision and values.
• Using systematic inquiry to improve student and institutional performance. Student Affairs Practitioners are skilled in using assessment methods to acquire high quality information and effective application to enhance students’ living-learning-environment.
• Using resources effectively to achieve institutional mission and goals.
• Forging educational partnership that advance students learning. Partnership with all sectors within and immediately outside the institution are established to promote not only life long learning but also learning for life. These partnerships include students, faculty, staff, alumni, parents, employers, social services agencies, primary and secondary education, government agencies, and local, national, regional and global communities.
• Building supportive and inclusive communities, student learning occurs best in communities that value diversity, promote social responsibility, encourage, discussion and debate, recognize accomplishments and foster a sense of belonging
